Product description Capture brilliant photos and 4K UHD video of parrot fish, moray eels, and coral reefs with your Nikon D500 DSLR camera in Aquatica's AD500 Underwater Housing. The enclosure has a depth rating of 295', which can be upgraded upon request to 426'. An Ikelite TTL/manual connector enables the attachment of optional external strobes via sync cords. The standard, coated eyepiece offers a full view of the camera's viewfinder, and the coated Aqua View Finder, also included, offers an enlarged, enhanced view with 100% coverage, corner-to-corner sharpness, and dioptric adjustment.
